Midnight.

There are many glamorous places to be on New Year's Eve
But I cannot think of anywhere better
in the whole world.
Than where I spent it.

In a cozy room.
Surrounded by my best friends and their families
Huddled on the floor with
a fire smoldering in the fireplace and
my girls on my lap; in my arms.
My husband with his arm around my waist
Counting down

3..
2..
1..

An explosion of joy.
Four faces to smother in kisses.
Love on display all around.
and the promise of another year to be together.
